AF After Baby ??? (EBF & Have IUD)

I had an iud inserted about 8 weeks after my dd was born (she's 7 months old now). Since then, I had a lot of bleeding/spotting from the IUD but then it seemed like my period came back. It was pretty heavy and lasted about a week. Well, that was around the middle of December and I havent seen ANY spotting or anything since. I am exclusively breastfeeding and I know that sometimes AF can be a little mixed up after childbirth, but would I have skipped two periods in a row? I'm worried because I know that IUD's dont always work perfectly and I have that pregnant feeling but its not enough that I actually want to test (I dont want to get a false positive and freak out lol). Anyway, please let me know what you think! Thank you all so much!

Hi Sarah IUDs are very effective.
